Abstract: A rotary transformer has a bus duct assembly that extends through the hollow shaft of a rotary transformer from collector or slip rings positioned above a drive motor for the rotary transformer to end windings of the rotor positioned most remote from the drive motor. By positioning the leads of the bus duct connection with the rotor end windings on the rotor end windings most remote form the drive motor, the shaft strength and integrity is not reduced due to the torque applied by the drive motor. Further, the shaft is formed from two coupled shaft sections and the bus duct assembly comprises two L shaped sections each positioned substantially within a corresponding shaft section. The bus duct sections are interconnected to complete the bus duct assembly making it simpler to remove the first or upper shaft section from the second or lower shaft section during field servicing.

Abstract: In a multilayered recording medium, when a titanium
oxide layer is formed using a sheet-type sputtering device,
a transmittance significantly varies due to variations in
thickness of the titanium oxide layer. 
     Therefore, according to the present invention, in the
multilayered recording medium having the titanium oxide
layer, a second dielectric layer composed of titanium oxide,
or mainly composed of the same, is formed on a first
dielectric layer composed of niobium oxide or silicon
dioxide, or mainly composed of the same. 
     Further, when the sheet-type sputtering device is used,
at least one chamber for promoting removal of water and
oxygen from a substrate is provided between a load lock
chamber and a chamber for forming a transmittance
adjustment layer.

Abstract: The opaque inscription layer (2) is applied to a portion of the underside of the transparent top film (1) and is comprised of thin lamellar metal particles (3) incorporated into a matrix material (4) like a printing ink. The inscription layer (2) can be applied to the underside of the top film (1) using printing techniques. Aluminum flakes are particularly well-suited for use as the metal particles (3) and can be commercially obtained in particle sizes of around 15 ñm with submicron thicknesses. When viewed through the top film, the inscription layer has a silvery white color of a high brilliance. Due to the incorporated metal particles (3), the inscription layer (2) depicts a medium that can be locally modified by irradiating it with a laser beam. The particle structure is effectively destroyed at the location of laser irradiation whereby rendering the inscription layer (2) locally transparent. When the laser beam is displaced over the inscription layer (2) along a path, which corresponds to the desired inscription, it leaves behind the inscription in the form of a transparent track.
